Chapter 27

"Big bad guy, as long as we haven't officially ended our engagement, we are still engaged. You are being fickle and two-timing, you have no conscience..." Qi Ruxue shouted loudly at Ye Tianchen while dragging her suitcase behind her.

Ye Tianchen was quite depressed. He never thought that eating some skewers would lead to encountering Qi Ruxue. In such a vast capital city, for the two of them to meet, should he say it was fate or that they were destined to be enemies?

Thinking back to the first time he met Qi Ruxue, they had already decided to end their engagement. Although Qi Ruxue had torn up the engagement termination letter, making the engagement not officially terminated, in Ye Tianchen's view, the engagement was already over. He didn't need to cling to the Qi family. Whether in his past life or this one, Ye Tianchen was not a hesitant person.

"First, we have never really met before, and this is only the second time. Also, you know that our engagement was arranged by the elders of the Qi and Ye families. Besides, I have no feelings for you, and I believe you have no feelings for me either. So, there's no question of being fickle or two-timing. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Ye Tianchen ran across the street. Qi Ruxue's sudden appearance and her persistent clinging to him made Ye Tianchen somewhat puzzled. Moreover, the way the Qi family treated the Ye family made him have little good will towards Qi Ruxue, so he decided to quickly disappear.

Seeing Ye Tianchen cross the street, Qi Ruxue hurriedly followed, dragging her suitcase. It was already midnight, and Qi Ruxue, who had grown up abroad, had few friends in China. She definitely wouldn't let Ye Tianchen slip away.

Actually, after Qi Ruxue left the Qi family estate with her suitcase, she was already worried about where to go. Staying in a hotel didn't seem safe, and returning to the estate was out of the question since her father, Qi Changsheng, was determined to marry her off to the Qin family. Running away from home was the only way for Qi Ruxue to fight for her freedom and happiness.

Unexpectedly, just as Qi Ruxue was at a loss, she suddenly saw Ye Tianchen at a roadside skewer stall. It was a pleasant surprise. Although she wasn't very familiar with Ye Tianchen, after their meeting at the Sea King Group, she knew he didn't have any feelings for her. At least, staying with him would be safer and provide a place to stay, which was better than wandering around the capital city at midnight.

So, Qi Ruxue immediately decided to act familiar with Ye Tianchen and, when he ignored her, used her "fiancée" status to force him to take her home.

To her surprise, Ye Tianchen showed no emotional intelligence and ignored her, walking away. This made Qi Ruxue so angry that she wanted to beat him up, but she had to quickly follow him with her suitcase, or she would have to sleep on the street that night.

In her haste to catch up with Ye Tianchen, Qi Ruxue didn't notice that the traffic light had turned green. Just as she was running across the street with her suitcase, a large truck came around the corner, scaring the old driver into a cold sweat. The truck couldn't stop in time and was heading straight for Qi Ruxue. If she were hit, she would surely be killed.

"Ah..."

Hearing Qi Ruxue's scream, Ye Tianchen turned around and saw the truck about to hit her, only a meter away. It was almost certain she would die.

Ye Tianchen frowned, and his advanced energy spread throughout his body. He left a residual image on the spot and disappeared.

With a loud crash, Qi Ruxue's suitcase was hit and flew away. The truck screeched to a stop, leaving a three-meter-long skid mark on the ground. The old driver was so scared that he almost wet his pants. Seeing the suitcase fly and the clothes spill out, his face turned pale.

When the old driver finally got out of the truck, trembling and shaking, he saw Ye Tianchen lying on the ground with Qi Ruxue in his arms.

"Are you okay? Are you dead?" Ye Tianchen asked as he got up.

"You're the one who's dead, you heartless guy," Qi Ruxue turned to Ye Tianchen, pouting her lips angrily.

"If I were heartless, I wouldn't have saved you. I don't want to deal with you. Goodbye!"

Ye Tianchen brushed the dust off his hands, gave Qi Ruxue a cold look, and turned to leave. If he hadn't used his advanced energy to increase his speed several times and teleport over, Qi Ruxue would have been dead.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Although he didn't have much to do with Qi Ruxue, he couldn't just watch her get run over by a truck.

"Big bad guy, stop, ah..."

Qi Ruxue tried to stand up but suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. Her right ankle was in excruciating pain, and it seemed she had injured it.

"Big bad guy, heartless, unfeeling..."

Tears welled up in Qi Ruxue's eyes. She was angry at Ye Tianchen, but more so because she felt she had no support. Her family was forcing her to marry into the Qin family, sacrificing her happiness for the family's benefit. Even her doting father, Qi Changsheng, wasn't on her side. Qi Ruxue was very sad.

"You can stay for one night, but you must leave tomorrow!"

Hearing Ye Tianchen's voice, Qi Ruxue looked up and saw him still looking at her expressionlessly. She didn't know whether to be happy or to punch him.

Ye Tianchen was also speechless, not sure why he had agreed to Qi Ruxue's request. Perhaps it was because she was somewhat attractive, or because he couldn't bear to see a woman cry, or perhaps it was fate...

He picked up Qi Ruxue and, before she could react, started walking to the next intersection. The accident would soon cause a traffic jam, and they needed to go to the next intersection to catch a taxi. With Qi Ruxue's injured ankle, he had to carry her.

"Hey, big bad guy, what are you doing? Put me down!"

Qi Ruxue, who had never been carried by a man before, blushed and struggled.

"Don't move. Your right ankle is injured, and it's hard to walk. If you move and fall again, I won't be responsible. Also, the ground is very hard, especially for a woman with a big butt like you, it will hurt a lot if you fall."

Qi Ruxue's face turned even redder, and she gnashed her teeth, wanting to bite Ye Tianchen. Saying a woman has a big butt in front of her is embarrassing. He had no emotional intelligence.

Half an hour later, Ye Tianchen and Qi Ruxue arrived at the entrance of the Ye family villa. Ye Tianchen still carried Qi Ruxue, thinking it was past one in the morning, and his mother and sister were probably asleep. He carried Qi Ruxue, took out the key, and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Tianchen carried Qi Ruxue into the house, his mother, Luo Yan, and his sister, Ye Qianwen, were still in the living room watching TV and chatting. They immediately noticed Qi Ruxue on Ye Tianchen's back, first in shock, then with bright smiles.

Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen exchanged glances, both smiling. It seemed they were thinking, "So quick to bring a woman home, how eager! Not bad, not bad!"

"Oh, son, you're back. Who is this young lady?" Luo Yan asked with a smile.

"Brother, you're not slow at all. You're already bringing girls home. What's this sister's name? She's so beautiful!" Ye Qianwen also teased.

Hearing Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen, Ye Tianchen and Qi Ruxue came back to their senses. Qi Ruxue, blushing, quickly got off Ye Tianchen's back and said shyly, "Aunt, I'm Qi Ruxue."

"You, you are Qi Ruxue?"

"You're the one who broke the engagement with my brother?"

"Yes, Aunt, I didn't know about the engagement termination. I'm very sorry. I... I don't want to leave Tianchen!"

Qi Ruxue was a very smart woman. She knew that to stay at the Ye family, she needed to win over Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen. The Qi family's forced termination of the engagement had embarrassed the Ye family, so they wouldn't like her. She had to portray herself as a victim to gain their sympathy.

"Huh? Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Tianchen looked at Qi Ruxue, annoyed.

"Aunt, little sister, I've been studying abroad and just returned. I only found out that my family insisted on breaking the engagement with Tianchen and marrying me to Qin Heng. As a woman, what do we want? We want to spend our lives with the one we love. Although I haven't spent much time with Tianchen, I love him. A woman follows her husband, and I won't marry Qin Heng. I want to marry Tianchen!" Qi Ruxue looked more and more sad, almost in tears.

"You have such acting skills, you should be an actress. You'd definitely win an award!" Ye Tianchen rolled his eyes.

"Tianchen, how can you talk like that? Ruxue is so beautiful and loves you, willing to follow you despite your family's opposition. That takes a lot of courage. I won't let you bully her!" Luo Yan said sternly.

"Exactly, brother, to win the heart of such a beautiful woman like Ruxue is your good fortune. Don't be ungrateful," Ye Qianwen also glared at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen was speechless. He never thought his mother and sister would be so quickly moved by Qi Ruxue's fabricated story and exaggerated acting. Qi Ruxue, on the other hand, smiled sweetly and stuck out her tongue at Ye Tianchen.
